FAQs
Yes, you can make Pumpkin Pie Dip in advance. Since it needs to cool for at 3 hours, I like making it the night before, so it has time to chill in the refrigerator.
Refrigerate any leftover dip in an airtight container for up to 5 days.ย ย We rarely have any leftovers, but with the holiday food we usually have some left. When you are serving your leftovers, don’t forget to setup out the Pumpkin Dip.
We have not tried to freeze this pumpkin dip. From my experience, dip with cream cheese in it doesn’t freeze well. The texture will change as it thaws out. So we do not recommend freezing it.
